The indie rock outfit haven't released any new material since 2013.
The Strokes have teased that they may play new material at an upcoming festival slot. They will headline the Governers Ball in New York in June.
A fan asked guitarist for the group, Albert Hammond Jr. on Twitter if the band would be premiering any new songs at the event. His reply was a simple "wait and see".

Organisers for the Governers Ball festival recently said during an AMA on Reddit that they asked the band to play in the promise of them performing new material. "This would be their first batch of new tunes in about, well, half a decade. That’s kind of a big deal".
The Strokes are headlining the NY state festival alongside Beck and Kanye West. They head down under in later this summer to headline the Splendour In The Glass Festival in Byron Bay on July 22.
